Dear colleagues,
This day in 2 months time the First International Palaeontological Congress
will have completed its meetings and delegates will be heading off on
excursions throughout Australia or heading home. At this stage we have more
than 400 registrants representing 35 countries.

If there is anyone who at this late stage has decided to make the trip "down
under", please do so in the next few days. Accommodation is tight but we
will be able to organise whatever is needed. Abstracts MUST be in by 15 May
to make the Abstract Book. We still have space on the excursions listed.
Please refer to details in Second Circular that can be downloaded from the
web at:
http://www.es.mq.edu.au/mucep/index.htm
(the Second Circular can also be found on the IPA website at:
http://ipa.geo.ukans.edu/convention.html).

Pre-1: Palaeocene, Cretaceous-Holocene floras and landscapes of southeastern
Australia. (Need to fly into Melbourne)
Pre-2: Option B-Riversleigh Cainozoic terrestrial faunas (need to be in Mt
Isa on 23 June).
Pre-4: Permian stratigraphy, sedimentology and palaeontology of the southern
Sydney Basin (along the coastline) (need to fly into Sydney on 30 June).
Pre-5: North Island of New Zealand (need to fly into Auckland 28 June).
Post-1: Cenozoic of southeastern ?Australia (along the coastline).
Post-2: Ordovician-Silurian graptolite succession of southeastern Australia.
Post-4: Contemporary reef dynamics on Heron Island (you can conveniently
join this excursion at the completion of Post-2, Post-3, or Post-5
excursions or should arrive in Gladstone by 10.30am on 18 July).

Looking forward to meeting you in Sydney,

John A. Talent

In addition to posting here on PaleoNet I have sent this message to all
paleontologists who have entered their names in the IPA Directory of
Paleontologists.  Please take a moment to check your entry and update it if
any information needs to be changed.

I would also like to once again ask you to spread the word about the
Directory of Paleontologists, the Directory of Fossil Collections, and
PaleoLink.  The more information these databases contain, the more useful
they become.  If you know of colleagues who have not yet entered their data
into these databases, please urge them to do so.  They can be found on the
IPA web site at http://ipa.geo.ukans.edu/

Sincerely,

Mike
